Nervous System Reset: The Retreat
Join Stephanie DeBou and guest teacher Thu Nguyen for this very special half day retreat aimed at rehabilitating your Nervous System. In our time together we will move the body, still the body, shake the body, massage the body and rest the body for a complete nervous system reset. The afternoon will start with gentle movement and attention to Breath (Qi Gong) followed by a stillness practice (yin yoga). From there, we will tune into the wisdom of the body and under the expert guidance of Thu we will move into TRE (Trauma and Tension Release Exercises) to access our body's own innate ability to heal trauma and tension through gentle shaking called neurogenic tremors. (You can learn more about TRE HERE.)
With the wisdom gained through our TRE experience you will be directed through self massage techniques using yoga Tune-up balls, to address some of the tension uncovered in the body. Finally we will finish with restorative yoga and a long, luxurious savasana, allowing the nervous system to effortlessly integrate the experience of the day, and allowing the body and mind to experience a sense of profound peace and well being.
The retreat is open to all levels of yoga experience. Space is limited to allow for personalized attention. Sign up early to guarantee your spot.
